Since everybody else is doing it

[arthurnelson88]

everybodies allway talkin bout Dre.  Dre dis Dre dat... well let me shed some light on tha topic since we git 30 new Detox posts a month, even though we've NEVER heard a clip of tha album:

u gotta think tho wat producer/rapper is gona put out they best beats 4 other rappers, sure its his label but everybody gets marketed different.  lissen 2 tha style of tha beats, sure its tha same boom boom, thump sound but tha sound is different.  "In Da Hood - 50" vs. "Murder These Murderers - Kam", same Dre sound different form of beats.  "In The Ghetto - Busta" vs. "30 Something - Jay" same instruments, different sound, i gues u mite have 2 b a producer 2 kno wat im talkin bout.  but wat im tryna say is that all these beats got that signature sound but are on a different level of production.  yeah Timbaland beats are crankin dont git it twisted, but how many CLASSICS does he have???  every producer has a good sound, y u think they in tha industry (they juss dont sign everybody).  look at my boi Polow, nigga bangin out dat shit, but theres no classic-classic shit, sure he gona b hot 4 a lil minute and i hope he stay around but fact of the matter is we'll hear anotha "Get Buck" in a couple of years (repetitiveness).  As 4 Snoop how can u say they're borin' when "Boss Life", "Round Here", "Imagine" were all heavy.  Detox will prolly b on some new shit, shit it mite even have 2 grow on u, u aint gonna hear those same gfunk synths and snares or those still dre pianos anymore, Detox will b on somethin else, same formula different sounds i bet...  everybody's killin' tha hype about Detox b4 its even put out, stop makin these threads... "Detox will b..." "Dre's Beats..." "Who u think will b on Detox" "What will Detox sound like" "Is Detox gonna top The Chronic" "Detox wont be" "Dre's new beats vs. Old Beats" "Is Detox" "Dre's sound" ( http://www.dubcnn.com/connect/index.php?topic=5751.0 ) .  i've been on this board 4 six/seven years (under different names) and all it is is tha same shit.  We should just make a sticky about EVERYTHING Detox related.  I've been itchin 4 it 2 belive it but this shit is startin 2 sound like an obsession rather than topics.  Point Blank Detox is gonna sound better than 90% of tha albums released in tha last 8 years, regaurdless if Diddy, 50, Fergie, or whoever tha fuck is on there or not.  It's Dre's ALBUM not somebody elses rememeber that, even Kurupt sounded tite on 2001- and Kurupt aint dropped a high level 16 in like 10 years.  It wont b a dissapointment unless u lookin 4 dre 2 go in tha DeathRow vaults and update tha instrumentals and 16's, juss chill and b patient, Detox will b that shit.  i dont know wat ya'll complainin about MOST of ya'll are gona download it anyway.

b serious EVERYBODY on this side of the forum calls Kurupt a legend but i kno a gang of niggas thats half his age that rhyme better than he do, and it aint even on no Ima Hustla, Lets Go Pop Dis Nigga, U Aint Ballin Like Me, Niggas Gettin Buried Outside Tha Club raps.  It's more real than that, Kurupt is on some DPGC You cant c me, d-a-z, or snoop d-o-double g, we smoke weed, cali blueberry, in my chucks and white t, i cause a catastrophies, nickel plated nine, niggas bleed- rhyme all the time.  who wanna lissen 2 a mid-30's rapper still rappin bout tha same EXACT shit they was 10 years ago, its almost been 10 years since 2001 dropped and Kurupts rhyme pattern aint even changed, not at all

We don't listen to west coast rap for content, we listen for sonic experience. kurupt's voice, flow and delivery are almost always tight to alot of us. and at times he comes with sick lyrics, check 'keep it gangsta' from CIA, he rips that shit up.

furthermore, alot of us are down for Kurupt rapping about the same shit he always was cause thats' what he always did when it was the time to do it....I'd rather that than all these new rappers talking that gangster shit cause it's been done you know? The people who originally made that shit so classic (Kurupt included) have the right to that gangster shit. new cats, in my view, have less of a right to rap about that same shit.

once more west coast rap: funk, music.
east coast rap: poetry.

we're not listening for west coasters to have an intelligent message, we just want them to sound dope

Good post about Dre. Like I said before, Kurupt seems to be the favorite mc for people to bring up about he fell off or can't spit. It's beating a dead dog man. I ain't saying he is the same rapper from DR, but he has dropped some solid material after he left DR. Now back to Dre, yes most are going to download Detox and Dre is trying new things with his beats. Most are not open to change because they love his old shit and feel there is no change needed. I am interested to see what Dre has in store for Detox and any future production on albums.

good post. There is a lot of peeps buggin out about this detox shit. just let it release, then u can make as many topics as u want about it. but for now shut the fuck up, every thread is the same. U know anything dre puts out is classic shit, so stop acting like he fell off n shit like that.  I bet there will be a Forgot about dre pt.2 on there  for all u fuckin haters.

Tanj, usually I agree with ur statements, but sayin westcoast=funk, music and eastcoast being poetry and not music. Every coast has a little bit both. There are Cali rappers with good lyrics ( I can't respect a rapper who doesn't have em unless they having incredible production, which nobody on Cali has ), and there are Eastcoast rappers who make garbage. I can respect Cali artists, I wouldn't post here if I didn't, but if your saying nobody in the West listens to WC music for substance, that's not rap, that's not hip-hop, hell that's not even music.

I know you haven't listened to a ton of Eastcoast music, but you can't categorize a coast musically, because every region has all sorts of sounds

[Tanjential]

the statements are general, there's no denying that but my point as an explanation for why people like Kurupt I think is perfectly sufficient.
